    It's .025, 25 thousandths. not .250"

    Curtis Vector Issue

    First off, I'm truly glad that you are getting a refund. I'm just trying to help you realize you don't have a bastard barrel at all. If you have a vice and wrench, you could put it together yourself with the right lug. Best case a .300 lug could work, depending on how close he followed the...

    While yours might, the next guys may not. 5RWILL said he can lock his up with upward pressure in his TL3 and Tempest with an AI. Another guy said he can duplicate your scenario with a Kelbly. The point is there are a ton of variables, from one stamped magazine to the next and to the dozens of...

    On point as usual. Does this mean the Tempest and TL3 are junk? By some peoples logic I guess it would. Until someone starts CNC'ing magazines for specific actions and chassis, we'll have to continue tweaking them on occasion. This whole thread is Fake News.

    Yes, two prints and .045 difference between them and with a little 2nd grade math, and the proper thickness recoil lug, that barrel will screw right on an Axiom and headspace perfectly. Your smiff doesn't get to soak you for a whole new chamber job and you might be out $50. Your welcome.

    Who needs a gamechanger when you've got a magazine? Someone call Phil and get up an arca plate added to his mag extension so we can mag support with a tripod! Joking aside, I try not to influence the mag all that much and if I do, I try to build a better position. I've just seen it cause to...

    Lol. We've clearly had different experiences. I've chambered, shot, and put hardware on the wall with them, but beyond that I don't have much experience with them so I'll shut up. OP, I still maintain that it's a very simple fix to get that Vector barrel running on your Axiom and your smith...

    For what it’s worth, the op could likely use that Vector barrel on his Axiom and screw it on himself with no mods to the barrel. Pretty fucking easy really.

    Fair enough. I'll have some my hands on experience real soon.

    Curtis Vector Issue

    Seems kind of harsh considering the results Curtis users have been turning in this year. I’ve seen Vectors used in matches this year in all kinds of positions without a hint of a hiccup. Seen one run 6br out of AI flawlessly last week and it was from a guy shooting his very first positional type...

    Curtis Vector Issue

    The bolt is .750 so you have .025 less clearance than you would over a normal .700 bolt to begin with. Grind a little off your feed lips and you'll be fine, I wouldn't bastardize a mag latch. Really, it takes 5 min. Hell, my 700s will bind to a dead stop on an unmodified AICS with upward...

    Loading for the 6BR Ackley

    That's good speed. For fireforming I used 29.8 Varget at about 2800. For full power, I can run 31.4 Varget or 30.4 H4895, its a wash as to which one is more accurate. I can't run it any hotter or I get ejector marks. I shot 6 groups at 520 alternating between each load. No wind. Groups...

    Loading for the 6BR Ackley

    I just built one for myself a few weeks back. I've got 300 rounds on it now. My advise would be don't try to push it hard during fireforming. I think you'll find most forming loads are very forgiving. Mine likes 30.4 H4895 or 31.4 Varget. Smallest groups I've ever been able to consistently...

    Defiance or curtis action choice

    I've been shooting the Curtis Axiom for a year now. No issues and its slick as hell. Once you go 60* throw, you'll have a hard time going back to 90. I just put an old 700 back together and after a year of 60* throw, the 90 feels like I'm spinning the big wheel on the Price Is Right.
